BETTER

The drag in your breath
The smug look on your face
You think that you're better
That I'm a disgrace

Better than me
Better than all
You look to me as if I am so small

But better you're not
Better you've never been
And were I a bettor I wouldn't bet on your wins

Better to sever the tether forever
Than to let it seep in
And to fall down together

So I let you live on
Thinking you are so clever
After all discretion is the best part of valor

So go on with your thinking
That you are better than you are
I know that thought alone
Should not get you far
